HEAVY WIND IN NEW YORK.
Much Damage Done by Violent Gal
 and Furious Rain.


 NEW YORK, July 17.-About noon to-day a violent wind and rain storm accompanied with much lightning passed over the city, doing much damage. Trees were torn up by the roots, fences and signs blown down and telegraph and telephone wires badly tangled up. Along the river fronts and the bay the storm ragged with great fury. Hundreds of sailboats and other small craft were out at the time. The police patrol boat at once steamed out on the bay to assist unfortu- mates: The crew rescued about thirty occu- pants of capsized sailboats. AS far as can be learned at P. m. no one was drowned, but it is probable that drownings have occurred. Dr. Cyrus Edson of the health board was among the rescued. During the storm the ships Annie Wright of Dorchester, N. B., and Lorenzo of Connecticut dragged anchors and collided in the bay. Both sustained slight damages. Excursion steamers were stripped of awnings and numerous minor accidents to sailing vessels are reported. It is said two sailboats containing eight persons were cap sized off Fort Hamilton, but nothing definite is known. In Brooklyn a two-story frame dwelling in process of erection was blown down, six roofs of houses torn off and other damage done. Telegraph and telephone wires are down all over the city.

To Partake of Food.
 NEW YORK, July 17.-Jacob Sharp ate half a cup of custard yesterday and seemed to relish it. Warden Heating and his wife have tried all sorts of subterfuges to make him eat and have prepared many tempting dishes for him, but be has rejected them all. He eats so little that the warden has grown alarmed about him. The lack of food has told upon MT. Sharp. He cannot move from his easy chair to his bed, distance of only a few feet, without the help of his cane or the aid of friendly arm. He is too weak even to talk, and it rests with Mrs. Sharp to re- ceive all the visitors and answer all ques- tions The visitors are few. Yesterday Dr. Loomis and Lawyers Stiekney and Mitchell were the only callers outside of the Sharp family. Warden Heating is daily asked so many questions by reporters regarding MT. Sharps condition that he has formed the habit of noting every change in it, and the daily bulletin which he willingly supplies is as thorough and intelligible as if it were fur nished by physician. The report that MT. Sharp has transferred his property to his wife cannot be verified.

Hut the Victim Is Saved by Being Una

 PoTTsvnLE, July 17.-If it had not been for his inability to put up the collaterals yes- terday Jonathan Wright, an old member of the Schuylkill county bar, would have been victimized by bunco steerers. Two of them induced him to sit down to game in base ment which they had rented in highly re- spectacle part of the town. They represented themselves Frank Leib of Harrisburg and g son of MT. Whitney of the Miners bank. Both names were calculated to inspire confidence. After they had played some game and Wright had won and lost he suddenly won 5000. To get it they told him he must produce half that sum to show that he was a man of re- sponsibility. They even advanced $200 to him toward the required sum because they were so we'll pleased with his good fortune. He only needed to show the money to one of the men in the presence of a justice of the peace and could return it in an hour Having no security Wright applied in vain to the banks for the loan for an hour, and then he sadly returned the money he got from the thieves During the night the police were informed, but the swindlers had escaped.

An Explosion of Melted Iron Stretches
 Twelve Men on the Ground

CHICAGO, July 17.-A horrible accident oc- cured yesterday morning at the Union steel works. A large casting was to be made, and
 the preparations had been completed by 8 night shift of men. The ladle by which the
 molten metal was to be carried from the
 mouth of the blast furnace to the mold had
 been freshly plastered by one of the night
 men. At haf-past five o'clock this morning
 the plug was picked out of the furnace spout
 and lava-like rush of white hot metal took
 place. It was large melt for big casting,
 and besides the men who had business
 around the seething cauldron others were grouped around admiring the scintillating sparks that flew from the bubbling stream. All at once there was an upheayal in the
 ladle. An explosion had taken place in the lower part of it's capacious interior. In a moment the hot metal was spreading itself over the heads and faces and bodies of on lockers and workers alike. The water in the fresh plaster had generated steam and 8 miniature boiler explosion had taken place. A dozen men lay grooming in agony when the binding cloud had subsided. The police and uninjured men formed rescuing party and quickly three men who were fatally hurt were on their way to the county hospital.
